VYCON ENTERS STRATEGIC ALLIANCE WITH MGE UPS SYSTEMS,
TO PROVIDE GREEN TECH ALTERNATIVE TO BATTERY BACK UP
SYSTEMS
Los Angeles – January 18, 2007– VYCON, http://www.vyconenergy.com, a leading
company in the development and manufacture of advanced, green tech, high cycling
energy storage flywheel systems, today announced a strategic alliance with MGE UPS
SYSTEMS, Inc. to provide an environmentally friendly, clean energy alternative to
traditional Uninterruptible Power Supply systems.
Initially, the offering will include MGE’s Comet and Galaxy PW models which will be
integrated with VYCON’s VDC flywheel system. The VYCON VDC is a flywheel
based energy storage system that provides a stable, reliable, low-maintenance,
extended-life DC voltage source for critical power applications. The VDC, which
can be seamlessly paralleled for higher power requirements, can completely
eliminate the need for maintenance-laden batteries in traditional UPS applications
by providing sufficient ride-through for short duration power outages or until a
standby engine-generator can come on line.
"This alliance represents an important opportunity for both companies,” said Tony
Aoun, President and CEO of VYCON. “MGE is a market leader in the UPS industry
and working with them will allow us to bring highly reliable green technology to a
greater number of companies around the world. As MGE customers are requesting
higher reliability and environmentally beneficial systems, MGE will now be able to
provide customers with a solution for both concerns through our VDC system”
Herve Tardy, VP Marketing of MGE UPS SYSTEMS North America added:
“We were very impressed by the VYCON VDC flywheel system and are looking
forward to working together to offer our customers a reliable, maintenance free
system without the environmental and cost implications of batteries”
